Oh child, you speak the truth, praise be to Lolly! She knows the truth! I repent all my sins and fall on my knees and worship the devine presence that is God. Lolly has shown me the light! I worship him and anoint him, in your name Jesus is God praise be to the lord in heaven!

If your talking ham ROLES then I agree with Danny B. (Make that ADOLPHO!) But if your talking ham ACTING, then I say Stokes. He's an incredible singer but he's the worst ham I've ever seen on stage.

"Lies! All lies! He. Loved. ME!"

Mattbrain, you forgot:
"Yooouuu scrawled my naaaaaame across aaaallll the walls of EURRRRope!"
(Or maybe that line didn't make it to Broadway; I wouldn't know.)

Wasn't the line, "I wrote your name on all the walls of Europe"? Or did Marius have an extra line upon his entrance.

Norbert Leo Butz would have to be up there but I mean that in the nicest way I possibly could because I absolutely adore and love him, but yeah, his role in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels just is over the top and it wouldn't really work if he didn't ham it up and that's why he one the Tony and I just realized I haven't used a period this entire post so I'm going to end it now.

I'm surprised no one has said Kristin Chenoweth. I say it in a good way, but she would do ANYthing for a laugh.

Well, there's good ham and bad ham. And hammy performance doesn't necessarily have to be funny, although most of the time that's what its associated with.
Good ham: Martin Short, yea -- high quality bacon there. And when she did Putting It Together, Carol Burnett was as good ham as you could get. Eddie Izzard was the definition on non-funny good ham in the Joe Egg revival.
In the bad ham category: Mandy Patinkin. Never before have I seen anyone so intent on making the show all about him... constantly stealing focus. He might as well have carried a big neon arrow that flashed the words "ME! ME! ME!" around with him.
I had a friend who worked for an off-Broadway theatre company -- Mandy called one day to pitch a production of Hamlet -- directed and starring himself. Our big joke was that the name would have to be changed too -- to 'Hamdy!' -- complete with exclamation point.

I love Nathan Lane, but the man is such a big ham he's now avaliable canned at Safeway.
